Default Lists- Simple Question

I have a drop-down list created with my account numbers. When I select an
account number from the drop-down list, I would like for the account name to
appear in the cell to the right of the cell with the account number. Any help
would be great! THANK YOU!

Use VLOOKUP
Assuming your drop down is in A1 in sheet 1 and your account no and names
data is in Sheet 2, COl A & B
then enter this in B1 of sheet 1;
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE)

Enter this in B1 on Sheet 2
then enter this in B1 of sheet 1;
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A:B,2,FALSE)

You may have to hit F9 to force recalculation.

Updated file sent to you...

Here is the response...

You were using =VLOOKUP($B$9,'Chart of Accounts'!A2:B40,2,FALSE) in C9 and
copying it down. Since $B$9 implied 'Absolute Reference' it does not change
to B11, B12, as it should. Also you used A2:B40 ('Relative Reference) which
changed to A4:B42 when copied...

You should use;
==VLOOKUP(B9,'Chart of Accounts'!$A$2:$B$40,2,FALSE)
